Highlights
  • Florence - City of the tour
  • Gallerie Degli Uffizi - One of the world’s oldest art museums, the Uffizi was built by architect Giorgio Vasari in the 16th century to house government offices. It was only later that the building was used to showcase art collected by Florence’s ruling Medici family, and not until 1769 that it was turned into a public museum.

The repository of more 1,500 works dating from Greek times to the 18th century, the core of the Uffizi is its unmissable collection of Renaissance art. Your tour concentrates on these, as your guide leads you around the highlights of the Renaissance rooms, home to great works by Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and others.

Enter the spectacular Botticelli Room and wonder at his The Birth of Venus and Primavera as your guide explains their composition and meaning, and the nature of Botticelli’s genius. Then, continue to see masterpieces such as da Vinci’s breathtaking Annunciation, Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo and works by Rafael.

Visit to recommend with Annette - Excellent organization and an exciting visit led by Annette, a perfectly English-speaking guide who knew how to share the history of the arts and Medicis with great efficiency: a challenge in this huge museum with so many people! Our teenager has been won over! Thanks again Annette:)

Great Tour and Museum Access - Guide was knowledgeable and shared interesting information. After the tour, you can stay in the museum as long as you’d like. Tickets are often sold out so this is a great way to access the museum and skip the line! The tour was definitely worthwhile!

Loved this tour and our guide - I cannot say enough positive things about our tour guide Sarah. She was so informative and highlighted all of the key pieces with great historical information that was presented in a very entertaining and informative way. We went to many cities and two different countries on this trip and she was by far our favorite tour guide and we had many great ones.

highly recommend - amazing and efficient - The blonde lady who was my tour guide did such a great job explaining the time periods, the focus of art in those periods, and interpreting the meanings of so many pieces in the gallery. It was incredible seeing the tie-in from one master's style to his apprentice's, for instance. Note: this tour only covers the top two floors; I wish it had covered all!

Our tour guide was a gem! - Our tour guide was amazing - guiding us to the widely known and hidden gems of the Uffizi. I would highly recommend this tour if you are looking to have someone guide you around the super crowded spaces sharing key details of the Medici family and the historical art of this beautiful place. It moved quickly and efficiently and allowed us to fit many other things into our 4 days in Florence. Grateful!

Super bad - I paid for tour guided tour but when I met the guide at the specified point at the Uffizi Gallery I was told that I only paid for the tickets. It was quite clear through my email confirmation that I paid for the tour guide with no waiting in line. I was told by guide that Viator sells tickets like this. I paid almost double the amount for tickets and got no guide and still had to wait in line. Done with this company for buying any more tickets….looks like a scam sute
